The November-December book and activities are for grades 4-12. The November-December book selection is One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia.
"In the summer of 1968, after traveling from Brooklyn to Oakland, California, to spend a month with the mother they barely know, eleven-year-old Delphine and her two younger sisters arrive to a cold welcome as they discover that their mother, a dedicated poet and printer, is resentful of the intrusion of their visit and wants them to attend a nearby Black Panther summer camp."
One Crazy Summer was on the 2011 Coretta Scott King Award and Honor books.
